You likely will not be allowed to wear a watch until you have some sort of peer leadership i.e. squad leaders and PG. At that point only your SL and PG will be allowed to wear them. Until then, you are on DS time and you don't need to worry about what time it is.

Ft Jackson was the same. They actually encouraged us to have one and the mini-PX sold a pretty decent Armitron that withstood a lot. I actually still have it and wear it for drill. No need busting up my Bulova...

watches are almost required in the military. You need one to know when to be somehwere at the right time. buy a simple watch it will be ok

This is exactly how it was in my unit.

I guess basically the best advice would be to not worry about it to much and wait see what happens when you get there because everyone seems to have a slightly diffferent experience when it comes to watches.
